APPOINTMENT of Arthur Schaupp to the
highway commission, forecast In this col
umn earlier In the week, gives KlamBth county

If -2 highway development to occur
I ' 1 J ln tnls vicinity in ine near
'V'SVCtN ; 1 future because we have at last
li"C,H f I landed a Klamath man on the
k ! commission
Fnr one thinn. highway de-
I votnnment of any kind is
I Vs fh t I Pre y well stymied until after
I V $v f I the war, but there Is the
Miaylk:.aUi further fact that any man of
EPLEY the calibre to deserve highway
commission appointment will adopt a broad,
statewide viewpoint as against narrow section
alism. There have probably been instances
where men on the commission spent their ef
forts getting roads, built in front of their prop
erty, but those cases have been exceptions,
and Mr. Schaupp Is not of that stripe.
a o o o
Pass 'Em Around
ON THE other hand, It Is good policy to
pass the commission appointments around
to various sections of the state, particularly
those of vital highway significance such as
Klamath county. This tends to produce a state
wide Influence on the whole highway policy,
and to bring attention to those areas and pro
ject which deserve it.
State highways ln the Klamath country not
only deserve further development, but they
deserve to be better publicized. There can be
fairer treatment of them, than they have re
ceived, In the highway department's signing
program. Not enough has been done to make
the traveling public realize that a logical coast
wise route from the Willamette valley as well
as east of the Cascades to southern points lies
through here.
Mr. Schaupp, the new commissioner from
this county, has not been connected in particu
lar with highway development efforts In various
civic organizations. But he is a man of ability,
. intelligence, and broad viewpoint, and he can
be counted upon to render good service to the
community and the state in the new position,

Background Incidents
SOME Interesting Incidents occurred In con
nection with the appointment of the com
missioner, some of them with considerable
political significance.
. In the first place, there was a general feel
ing here that any pushing and pulling between
candidates should be avoided. While as many
as a dozen names may have been mentioned to
Governor Snell, there was no outbreak of bitter
competition which would have jeopardized the
appointment of a Klamath man to the post. Mr.
Schaupp was the man upon whom the gov
ernor's closest advisors in the county agreed.
Just before the appointment was made, some
musing stories emanated from Salem, as a re
sult of a visit to the governor by State Senator
Marshall Cornett and Elmer Balsiger, local au
tomobile dealer, both good friends of Snell. The
story was started that Cornett was to receive
tha appointment, but later was rescinded and
Senator Cornett was described as a "John
Alden" who asked for somebody else.
000
New Year's Politics
IP HE had asked for himself Senator Cornett
could probably have had the appointment,
but it is known that he is interested in running
either for the United States senate or the state
senate next year. The highway commission Job
did not fit into his plans.
If Senator Cornett runs for the state senate
and is elected, he has a chance of becoming
president of the senate in 1945. If he runs for
the United States senate, he will seek the seat
now held by Senator Rufus Holman, and during
the flurry of rumors Just before the highway
post appointment, his name was connected with
the United States senate race.
Senator Holman probably will seek reelection.
Governor Snell and ex-Governor Sprague are
two possible candidates. All of these men, in
cluding Senator Cornett, are republicans, and
there will be no dearth of democratic candidates
there never is.
oaoo
Klamath county not only has never before
bad a man on the highway commission, but it
has never had a man in either the upper or '
lower houses of congress. That Cornett is even
thinking about running for the United States
enate is highly Interesting news ln this neck
of the woods.
It is a bit early, however, to do anything
but speculate as to what will happen on this
situation. One prediction Is pretty certain
Cornett will run for the senate next year
state or U. S.
No, folks, those trucks In town this morning
were not bound for the rumored Upper Klamath
lake naval base. They were going to another
project some considerable distance farther away.

Every family needs a rationing specialist.

By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 24 Men In their
own dally live seem to me to have set
a pretty good example for the planners of the
post-war world.
No man lives entirely to
himself, yet no man sacrifices
his integrity or his ideals to
another. He gets along with
his neighbors, holding opposite
views in a friendly and co
operative spirit, but he does
not sacrifice his own views. '
It is within this scope that
he practices brotherly love in
his own daily life. He does
MALLON not practice it to the idealistic
extent of trying to love his next-door neighbor
as much as his immediate family.
It is only natural for a man to care for
those who are around him more than those who
are distant. He always will.
The same is true to an international extent
among nations. Each nation first considers Its
own or should. After that, it gets along with
its neighbors in an agreeable, friendly, negoti
ated spirit as best it can.
Not all get along with all. But each adopts
Itself to the realities of existence which are the
common laws of each individual man ln his
work, his life, and his community.
No individual that I ever heard of carries
brotherly love to the extent of taking his
weekly pay check and going up and down the
neighborhood distributing it either to friends
or foes, or both alike. -
' 0 0 0
Distribution of Riches
CERTAINLY, he does not borrow money
from his family so to speak, to distribute
even more than he earns or that he can afford.
If any. Individual man did such things, he
would be considered a fool.
Yet proposals have been made that we do
collectively what each of us knows to be fool
ish, as far as he himself is concerned. No nation
can expect to ' live alone Just as no man can
live alone. Inter-dependency is also a natural
lawP'"-"
But to carry it in a post-war settlement be
yond the practical .point, which each man has
set for himself In his own way of living, is,
to my mind, to carry it into the realm of inv
practicability. It will not work.
But if we adopt the common sense individual
basis, it would not be necessary for us to sacri
fice our national; ideals a bit, or open our
national purse of the people's money any wider
than is sensible to live agreeably with the other
fellow.
We can protect ourselves by maintaining our
own army and navy alertly and fully to assure
us peace and protection at home. We need not
adopt any foreign notions as to how govern
ment should be conducted. We do not have to
go half-way to them with a sacrifice of our
ideals,
Men and nation of Integrity do not sacrifice
ideals, and the few who try are not respected,
and generally are not successful, or at least do
not live in peace and comfort with themselves
and others,
Patriotism and national self-interest cannot
be compromised. It should run as deep as its
inherent spiritual belief. No man worthy of
his salt expects to compromise his fundamental
religious ideals, whether it be atheism, agnos
ticism, buddhism, Christianity, or Judaism.
0 0 0 0
Halfway Measures
k J ANY seriously religious-minded Americans
IVI do not stop to think that they would be
deeply offended if anyone proposed that they
compromise their Methodist, Baptist or Catholic
beliefs half-way to Buddhism or Agnosticism.
They would not think of whittling down their
beliefs half-way to the Mohammedans and ex
pect the Mohammedans to meet them in a post
war world at some point called "X" halfway
between them,
Yet, in international politics, where the na
tional Ideal of the United States is concerned
they . listen to suggestions that as Stalin is
coming half-way toward democracy, we should
carry democracy half-way toward him, and,
unthinkingly, nod their heads in affirmation
at least that 1 the way it seems to me.
They would certainly not nod their heads,
but rise in righteous Indignation if Buddha
sent missionaries to the United States to convert
their flock half-way to Buddhism.
Therefore, I think the foundation of the
current argument is all wrong. The impression
has been built up that a man is a irreconcilable
epithet if he does not believe ln what Mr.
Wallace suggested, or that he is a so-and-so
conservative trying to go back to the old in
ternational ways.
There has been no such thing as a status quo
in the world that I have been able to observe
in my lifetime. Certainly there is no part of
the history of this world of International rela
tions of strife from the beginning that anyone
wants to go back to, as far as I have been able
to observe.
The course must always be ahead. But ln
plotting that course, idealism will serve us only
if it is constructive, and I think the practical
idealism of the average man in getting along
with the people around him In his daily life
will serve the nations a good example. Any
stronger idealism would not have a solid basis
in human instinct.

shelling for 31 minutes. I was
the gun captain on the number

shell hit tlie barrel on our num
ber one gun, causing the ship to
be on fire and this caused the
explosion of a huge diesel oil
tank.
"I received a shattered femur
in my leg. I pulled myself up
over the lite line and dropped in
to the sea. I was picked up out
of the water six hours later and
was put on the beach at Guadal
canal. At 12:30 there was a Jap
air raid a quarter of a mile from
where I was on the beach. The
concussion from the bombs was
so strong it threw me out of my
cot. Coconuts from the trees
overhead came down like a rain
storm on me.
"While I was still in the water,
before I was picked up, throe
Japs came up in a small life
boat while I was hanging with
one arm around part ot the mast
of the ship. With my free arm
I killed the three Japs with my
gun so I wouldn't be taken pris

"I was taken from Guadalcan

months.
"When the radio room was
blown up, I went down and got

INCONSISTENT
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor): Tho recont letter
of Mr. Chltwood, Inviting com
ment upon hli article regard
ing the backing on the prohlbl
tlon repeal efforts of so many
prominent Industrial and bus!
ncss leaders, moves mo to call
his attention to the name ot
one not listed by him. Prcs At-
terbury, of tho Pennsylvania
RR, was one of tho curliest and
most ardent movers to repeal,
yet early railroad history dis
closes that to-Atterbury li as
cribed ihe major credit for
Rule G' or the drinking rule.
The inconsistency of his 1 stand
for repeal yet In no wlso slack
ening the rigid enforcement of
Rule G on HIS railroad In any
wise, makes one wonder how
he now has escaped being
plnced as a Number One man
in Washington in charge of
some vital phase of govern
mental' activity. Atterbury may
be dead by now but that need
not be a bar In any sense for
duty In Washington.
Thank you.
